- Draw their attention to each gap.
Encourage Ss to guess the type of
information they need for each gap. E.g.
For Blank (1) we need a noun or noun
phrase in plural. For Blank (2) it is a
singular noun or noun phrase.
- Underline key words in the notes to
locate the information in the passage. E.g.
Blank (1) is related to the idea of reducing
plastic packaging. Therefore, it can be
found in the first extract (by Hai, 18).
- Read the parts that contain the key
words carefully to identify the
words/phrases.
- Make sure the word/phrase for each
blank is exactly the same as taken from
the passage. It should fit the gap in terms
of both form and meaning. Finally, it
should not exceed the word limit.
- Check answers as a class.

- Have Ss re-read each person's or ideas
and compare them with the list of options.
Encourage them to pay attention to
paraphrases and implications (if any). E.g.
Hai’s extract does not mention any
mistake as in Statement 1, or recycling
symbols in Statement 3. Nor does it talk

or the use of single-use containers as in
Statement 5. However, it talks about a
local business (i.e., “a the supermarket
near my house”) and how it supports
his/her green lifestyles (i.e., The
supermarket near my house even provides
cardboard boxes so I can pack my
groceries and get rid of plastic

example, a firework display can

not have a lasting impact on the

a drone display, which is also
safe and more environmentally
friendly. Drones do not release
any harmful chemicals into the
atmosphere and generate very
little noise pollution.
